Abi Wade (cello.box.voice) A Musical collaboration between limbs, strings and vocal chords. Her music is seemingly and seamlessly sewn together, each beat, melody and bass line put exactly in its place, to create songs that pull the heart strings and a performance that will beguile and intrigue.

The cello, uniquely utilised is the backbone to the four songs that comprise her And Blood And Air EP – a set
that strikes the listener with a singular blow, soft but undeniably
affecting. Carved with a uniquely tailored blade it is hard to liken her to any former artist, but
similarities have been drawn to the independently distinct
Arthur Russell, Joanna Newsom and Kate Bush.

"..beautiful music characterised by stripped back instrumentation, compelling harmonies and haunting voice brings to mind artist such as Regina Spector and Kate Bush...released through Love Thy Neighbour Records, formed by Daniel Copeman of Esben & the Witch’s. The track ‘Stability’ hints at amazing things to come." the great escape festival

"Brushes, sticks, boxes – it’s all sounds good to us. But most of all it sounds like nothing we’ve heard before. And that’s why Abi Wade is so exciting. She’s really made that cello her own.' - James Kendall The Source Mag Brighton

"When evaluating any EP from a new artist, the verdict either falls on the side of ‘I’ve had enough,’ or ‘Please put more on my plate.’ And Blood and Air easily fits into the ‘Please put more on my plate’ category. We can’t wait to hear what this psycho cellist has for us next." - Dan MacIntosh music news
